 * Forbidden
    You don’t have permission to access / on this server. Additionally,
   a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to
   handle the request.
 * I’m getting this error after I changed the permalink to https:// instead of http://
   to force site security. I do have an active SSL.
 * How to fix this? Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2F403-error-wp-admin%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * You may need to add the define(s) in the site’s wp-config.php file to force SSL
   on logins and admin sessions:

 * adding this code:
 * define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);
 * to wp.config.php did not solve the issues, it’s still 403
